- The assassination of President John F Kennedy in 1963 was a seminal event in
modern American history. Yet 54 years on, the official US state continues covering
up the shocking truth about the killing of one of its most popular leaders.

A recent release of secret memos from the
Central Intelligence Agency is a classic case of disinformation put
out to further contaminate public knowledge about how and why the
president was murdered in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963.

American news journal,
Politico, headlined an article about the latest
declassified information: “How the CIA came to doubt the official story
of JFK’s murder”.

From a casual glance, one might think
that “at last” some new insight into the Kennedy assassination may be
forthcoming and on the role played by Lee Harvey Oswald, the young
ex-marine accused of pulling the trigger. Not a bit of it.

The latest batch of CIA memos –
penned around 1975 – do not in any way “undermine the [official]
Warren Commission’s finding that Oswald killed Kennedy with shots fired
from his perch on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book
Depository… and that there was no credible evidence of a second gunman.”

What the newest release of CIA
documents appear to “disclose” is that the agency was involved in a
“benign cover-up” by influencing the 1964 Warren Commission
to conclude that Oswald acted alone in killing the president. What
appears to be revealed now is the CIA had deeper concerns that the late
Cuban leader Fidel Castro may have indirectly motivated Oswald. The CIA refers
to a New Orleans newspaper article published two months before JFK’s
murder, in which Castro is quoted denouncing covert American operations
against his own life.

That news report, says the CIA
in a 1975 memo, may have inspired Oswald as an American supporter
of the Cuban socialist revolution to proceed to Dallas and plot
against the US president as an act of revenge.

Other “intriguing glimpses”,
as Politico describes the latest declassification from the US
National Archives, include CIA misgivings that alleged meetings by Oswald
with Cuban and Russian officials in Mexico City weeks prior to JFK’s
assassination were not adequately followed up by Warren commission
investigators.

What this amounts to is
disinformation planted in the National Archives by the CIA, which
upon eventual release gives the impression that a significant revelation
is being unearthed. Notice how the supposed “disclosures” end up reinforcing
the official narrative – namely, that the American president was killed
by a lone malcontent.

The only “new twist” in the
official narrative is the CIA “conceding” that it had earlier suspicions Oswald
gained assistance – directly or indirectly – from foreign enemies
in Cuba and the then Soviet Union.

Conveniently, this latest spin feeds
into the current climate of Russophobia being whipped up by
large sections of the US media, which blames Russia for meddling
in the presidential elections last years and colluding with the
campaign team for Donald Trump.

In other words, the latest CIA
disclosures are designed at burnishing the credibility of the
official US account of how and why JFK was murdered, while also resonating
with the Deep State effort to oust Trump from the White House.

The trouble is the official version
of JFK’s killing has already been exposed as a preposterous fraud
by numerous independent researchers and writers.

Perhaps the best account on the
event is provided by James W Douglass in his book,
JFK and the Unspeakable. There are several others, but Douglass’ book is a
compendious study.

There seems little doubt that Kennedy
was “taken out” by executive action, a term used by the CIA and its
Deep States operatives, including the numerous hit men that triangulated the
ambush on JFK’s motorcade on that fateful day in Dealey Plaza,
Dallas.

The 24-year-old Oswald was “just a
patsy”, as he proclaimed, before he was shot dead, in turn, two
days after Kennedy’s assassination, while in police custody.

There is sound evidence that Oswald
was working as an informer for the FBI trying to alert it
to the plot to kill Kennedy. The plot was masterminded by the
CIA and implemented by contract killers from the mafia and rightwing
Cuban exiles. Hours before his own death, Oswald tried to make a
desperate phone call to his handlers from the Dallas police station.
The call was never put through, but the switchboard operator came forward
years later and the number was traced to someone in the secret
services.

As for the CIA’s “concerns”
about Oswald’s alleged meetings with Cuban and Russian officials
in Mexico City during September 1963, many researchers believe it was
not Oswald who participated in the strange encounters. Plausibly, it was
an imposter employed by the CIA to later implicate Oswald – a process
known as “sheep dipping”.

Russian records of Oswald’s
alleged visits to its embassy in Mexico City say that he behaved
unruly as if the meeting was designed to create a memorable
commotion. Also, the person claiming to be Oswald spoke terrible Russian,
whereas the real Oswald was fluent in the language, having married a
Russian-born woman.

So why was John F Kennedy
assassinated? Because, from a personal process of political
education, the former Cold Warrior Kennedy realized that his nation needed
to normalize relations with the Soviet Union. JFK had set
up backchannel communications with his Russian counterpart Nikita
Khrushchev to negotiate landmark nuclear weapons disarmament.

Kennedy had also set
up backchannels with Cuban leader Fidel Castro to negotiate
ending covert American operations to overthrow his government.

The genuine grief and sadness spoken
by both Khrushchev and Castro on the news of Kennedy’s
assassination is on the record, as James Douglass recounts
in his book.

The notion that either of these
foreign leaders would have conspired in, or inspired, JFK’s murder is plain
nonsense, given the detente initiatives underway at the time.

Due to Kennedy’s courageous
stance to rein in American imperialism, he had garnered dangerous
enemies among the Deep State, the CIA, the military-industrial complex and
a host of rabid anti-communist American politicians.

One of the most maligned people
in history is Lee Harvey Oswald, the disaffected US marine who was
probably recruited into the CIA as part of its assassination
scheme against Kennedy. Tragically, Oswald was maneuvered to take the
rap. The theory that he could have fired off three bullets in a
matter of seconds from an archaic Italian-made rifle in a
long-distance shot at the president is just absurd. The fatal head wound
received by Kennedy clearly shows that he was shot at close range and
from the opposite direction of the Dallas School Book Depository
where Oswald had become mysteriously employed.

The big deal about the latest
“trove” of CIA memos on the assassination of JFK is classic
disinformation.

Why does all this matter? If the
American state can carry out such a brazen regime-change operation
against its own elected president – and continue to lie
about for over 50 years – should we be surprised when the same
secretive forces today lie about Russian meddling in the US election?
Anything is possible with such vile forces.
